MythNetTV release 3

Posted on August 12th, 2008 by

People traditionally use tuners of some sort to get content into MythTV, but video podcasting is getting more and more popular and is often of very high quality. MythTV doesn’t really have any support for this. Maybe MythNews… But then we have MythNetTV which has just been updated to release 3. It will let you subscribe to video podcasts and actually insert them into the recordings menu.

Here is a list of the changes in the latest release:

  • Started work on an RSS exporter for MythTV recordings
  • DX50 doesn’t need transcode
  • Tweaked supported video mime types so “Tikibar TV” and “Ask a ninja” work
  • First cut of Bittorrent support
  • Schema upgrades
  • Archive recordings as well as importing them
  • Improved –list output
  • Subtitle restrictions on download as well
  • Make subscriptions inactive instead of deleting them (for unsubscribe)
  • Better filename safening
  • More markread options
  • Refactored code to be more sane
  • Don’t archive things imported from the archive location
  • Bulk import (–importmanylocal)

    [...] Many of you love your MythTV PVR, but one of the features that’s missing (well, not really missing but nice to have) is the ability to bring in Internet video content. Enter MythNetTV, a command line application that allows you to subscribe to your favorite video podcasts (RSS/Atom) and pull the latest content into your MythTV recordings menu (see screenshot). MythNetTV also has the ability to transcode video to your preferred format using Mplayer/MEncoder. All in all, it’s a great way to access new content through your familiar interface. [via] [...]
